Windows 95 installation options
Windows 95 Setup offers four basic installation options: Typical, Portable, Compact, and Custom.
1) TYPICAL -- TYPICAL installation is the default Windows 95 installation option. You must choose the directory in which to install Windows 95, and specify a user and computer ID. Setup also gives you the choice to create a Windows 95 startup diskette.
2) PORTABLE -- PORTABLE installation is the best Windows 95 installation option for users that have a portable, laptop, or notebook computer. This installation option installs the best combination of Windows 95 features for portable computer users. The PORTABLE installation option, combined with the Windows 95 hardware profile feature for different mobile and docking station hardware configurations, gives the portable computer user a flexible and powerful Windows 95 setup. Other useful applications for portable computer users are the direct cable connection and Briefcase file synchronization utilities, which make it easier to exchange and maintain version control for files between the road and the office.
3) COMPACT -- COMPACT installation is for users who have very little hard disk space in which to install Windows 95. Only the files that are absolutely necessary to run Windows 95 are installed by this option. No optional components are installed.
4) CUSTOM -- CUSTOM installation gives the experienced user control over the Windows 95 components to install and the hardware devices to configure. The default options in a CUSTOM installation are the same as the TYPICAL installation option discussed above.
